New Tunze 6060 runs backwards

[berridge]

Hi,

One of my new Tunze 6060 units runs backwards! Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks!

How long has it been running? The pump has a brake system that prevents backwards rotation, if the bushing is loose or the brakes are damaged this system will not work. Assuming they are brand new I would suspect the bearing bush slid out and just needs to be pushed back in. This part is essentially the brake drum of the brake system.

It has been running for a couple of weeks. I just took it out, diassembled the brake system and put it back together. Now it runs properly. Thanks!
